I'm not sure which part is failing:
1 -create the report
2a-automate running the report
2b-have the report use cutepdf to make a pdf
3 -mail the pdf


If You want to know how to specify cutepdf as the
printer to use when the report is run, this may help.

Subject: [AccessD] Report to PDF using CutePDF


Hello all,

Environment is Access 2002 (XP), Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro mixed
environment.

I was wondering if anyone out there has any tips or tricks on how to
automate the creation of a report into a PDF document using CutePDF.  We
also have PDF-XCHANGE but we do not have the SDK version.
I've seen code to use PDFWriter from Adobe, however I don't have that
luxury.

I downloaded CutePDF and GostScript, which works great as a printer to
convert any document to PDF via a printer and is totally free without
watermarks or ads.  I would like to use this as part of an email
distribution of reports.  I know this has been talked about on the lists but
has there been any solutions that use CutePDF, or does anyone out there know
the workings behind CutePDF that they could share where I could either alter
some registry changes or ini file to automate the creation of a PDF and then
simply pick it up and send it via an email.

Thanks in advance,
Rich
